Four months of the best swimming since, well, high school notched 40 miles from November through February. It was a ton of fun to swim alongside my kids. Got some great pointers from coaches and fellow swimmers (those ten year-old are swim savy!) Wrapped it up with scrimmage with the UNL Swim Club on February [...]

12 weeks to my second Pikes Peak Double. Uh-Oh! A shade under of 40 miles of bliss in two-days to prepare for – Saturday Aug 20th is the Ascent and Sunday Aug 21st is the marathon. Two years ago I was in the midst of preparing for the first Double. I had a few Ascents [...]

The Lincoln Marathon was ten days ago – May 1st – so was I too beat up to write a blog post? Nah, just busy, really. . I’ll call this my marathon PR – 4:00:17 by the chip. I’m still 4 minutes off my 1996 all time best – but after my PR article a [...]

Over a year has passed since my first Tabata. That workout was the second Crossfit torture I was introduced to in February of 2010. I’ve done a few on my own since. Today was my first as prescribed (Rx’d in CrossFit lingo). Results: Rowing – 500+ meters, 6 calories Squats – 14, 13, 14, 13, [...]
CrossFit Ryan and Growth of XFAN

It’s been a good, killer week so far for both CrossFit Workouts Of the Day (WODs) and the new eXtreme Fitness Around Nebraska. The picture is a trophy from the CrossFit Ryan workout. My constant running and occasional swim/bike companion Heidi has the “gee, are you sure you know what you’re doing?” look on her [...]

I live in Nebraska. You live where you live. Profound thinking going on here. 15 years ago we had a smattering of running road races, occasional swim events, cycling criterions and weight lifters did their thing. It was a quiet life in 1996. Plus Nebraskans were basking in the glow of back-to-back National championships [...]
CrossFit Lincoln Team WOD – 7′s and 10 stations!

The Team WOD – 2 groups of 11 people of all ages and abilities pushing themselves; hitting the edge of their performance envelope. It’s entirely too much fun. I’m at the low end of the results scale but had a blast. This torture was organized into two parts by Phil (who mysteriously did not participate [...]

Fun lunch time workout (WOD) at CrossFitLincoln. I picked up a couple, 1 focused on Olympic lifting skill (Split Jerk) the other a metcon (metabolic conditioning) called “Karen” which involves a 150 wall ball shots. CFL trainer Cole provided a great tutorial and reminder on Split Jerk Form and practice: Shoulder Press with up position [...]
CrossFit WOD Linda

The CrossFit workout of the day (WOD) called Linda. A perfect torture of Olympic lifting and speed. It’s a declining repetition workout of deadlift, bench and cleans (10 reps each down to 1, until 55 per lift are done). I was leery of this one since my last “Linda” in May of 2010. A day [...]
